Chapter 847: Invasion of the Alien race

“God-damn… brat…”

Duck Emperor struggled hard and crawled toward where Xiao Luo stood. His white feathers were dyed red in blood, and his voice was pale and weak. Right now, it had reverted into a mini duckling.

Xiao Luo leaned forward to lift him and laughed.

Duck Emperor laughed along with him as well. A human and a duck, laughing with one another. In the end, they ended up cackling out loud.

After a while, Duck Emperor said, “That little girl, Ghost, is alright. King of Blades saved her. They should be together right now.”

Xiao Luo nodded his head, then looked up at the mirage-like original world in the sky. “Duck Emperor, do you know what is going on right now?”

Duck Emperor shook its head and replied, “I am not so certain. If my owner, Master God of Chaos, is around, I’m sure he would know. But looking at it right now, someone seems to have opened up both worlds, and the Chaos Dimension seems to have been breached.”

“Let’s go, we’ll take a look!”

Xiao Luo ignored the pain in his heart and put Duck Emperor on his shoulder. He turned into a ray of light, soared into the air, and headed toward the hazy mirage.

Soon. he entered the area and what he saw caused his brain to tingle. His head went blank for a brief moment.

This was indeed Hua Nation of the original world, and the familiar sight he saw was none other than Xiahai. But Xiahai was in a mess now. All the modern skyscrapers were badly damaged and smoke filled the air. Even the distant forest beyond the city was destroyed. This place looked desolate, like a scene from an apocalypse.

“Is this the original world? How did it become like this?”

Duck Emperor found it hard to believe that this was the original world that he had seen on his computer screen. Shouldn’t this be a modern city filled with tall buildings, full of cars, and pretty girls? How was it in such a ruined state with its skies covered in a haze? Sunlight was shining in, but it felt like the entire world was shrouded in a dense atmosphere.

Xiao Luo was equally keen to know what happened as well.

The first thought that came to his mind was his family and friends, grandparents, parents, Zhang Dashan, Su Xiaobei, Ruyi, Tang Ren, Ji Siying, Gu Qianxue, Drug Lady, and the others. He rushed straight toward the NSA Headquarters in Xiahai but found it was empty there. The NSA building and all its facilities had been completely wiped out.

He quickly used Divine Awareness to scan the entire Xiahai and finally found the survivor camp.

It was a military station hidden in the mountainous area north of the city. All the survivors of Xiahai were there, and Xiao Luo descended from the sky like a god, creating a mood of turmoil and fear. A troop of soldiers raised their guns and pointed at him like he was an enemy. All the soldiers from the other area ran over to this side of the camp as well. Sirens blared in the entire survivor base camp.

“Raise… Raise your hands, hurry and raise your hands up!”

The leader of this group of soldiers shouted at Xiao Luo. He trembled and broke into a cold sweat. As a modern soldier, he did not believe in any fantasy-like scenarios and characters, but as he looked at this person in front of him descending from the sky, that instantly changed the perception that he had of this world. It felt like his worldview had turned upside down.

“Move aside!”

Xiao Luo bellowed and his body emanated a majestic aura. He then knocked the soldiers to the ground.

He was not bothered to talk to these soldiers. Maximizing his Divine Awareness, he tried to search among the survivors for Zhang Dashan, Xiao Ruyi, and the others. But he realized they were not there.

At this moment, two beautiful women emerged from the crowd of survivors, and they stared at Xiao Luo in disbelief.

“Team Leader? It’s really you, Team Leader!”

“Team Leader…”

The two women ran toward him with tears in their eyes. As if finding a pillar of support, they hugged Xiao Luo tightly.

Xiao Luo recognized them instantly. They were from the Huayao Group and were two of the members of Team Three of the Sales Department. It was the team he headed when he was a Team Leader of that group—Liu Yiyao, and Si Yueting. Although their clothes were soiled, with their exquisite figure, the word “stunning” could still be used to describe them.

“Do you know what happened? How did Xiahai end up in this state?” Xiao Luo asked them.

“An extraterrestrial being! An extraterrestrial being invaded Earth,” Liu Yiyao replied, grieving and sobbing.

Si Yueting nodded her head like a chicken, and said, “Mm, an extraterrestrial being arrived, and he has advanced technology. He released a giant spinning top made of a strange metal. The giant spinning top moved at a breakneck speed, destroying buildings everywhere it went. Not even our fighter jets or cannons could do anything to it.”

Extraterrestrial being?

A giant spinning top made of a strange metal?

Xiao Luo furrowed his eyebrows. Despite agreeing with most people that human beings were not alone in this entire universe, the fact that an extraterrestrial had visited Earth, and was even invading it, came as something of a surprise to him. It felt surreal—like he was in a dream.

“Team Leader, I finally understand why you decided to give up your job at Huayao Group. And I also know why you appear so indifferent towards so many things like you don’t care at all. It turns out that you’ve already far exceeded what a normal human being can do.”

“Team Leader, you’re like the cultivator that we always read about in novels. You’re a divine being, for only divine beings can fly in the sky.”

The two women stared at Xiao Luo with much admiration. In their eyes, Xiao Luo was a god, an existence worthy of their worship.

Xiao Luo didn’t know how to reply to that.

“Cough, cough…”

Duck Emperor coughed a little, and said, “Actually, I’m a divine being as well, you can call me Duck God!”

“Huh?”

Liu Yiyao and Si Yueting got a shock and took a few steps back as if they had just received an electric shock. They stared at Duck Emperor, perched on Xiao Luo’s shoulder, in horror. The former pointed a trembling hand at Duck Emperor, and asked, “Team Leader, this duck can… It can talk?”

Xiao Luo glared at Duck Emperor and didn’t bother trying to explain.

He changed the subject, “Besides this place, are there anymore other survivor bases in Xiahai?”

“No!”

A mature voice echoed across to him.

Xiao Luo turned his head around to look—here was another familiar-looking person. It was Tian Zhenxing, the former director of Xiahai Public Security Bureau. Tian Zhenxing was in his military outfit and walked over along with two other soldiers holding their guns.

“Director Tian,” Xiao Luo greeted him humbly. The man’s attitude was still sincere and genuine.

Tian Zhenxing sighed and replied, “We don’t have a director here anymore. The Alien race has invaded and the entire world is facing a disaster. We don’t even know if we can survive this. Right now, I’m the one in charge of this survivor base.”

“Su Xiaobei, Zhang Dashan, Ji Siying, NSA’s Drug Lady, and my younger sister, Xiao Ruyi, Tang Ren, and the rest—are they here?” Xiao Luo asked anxiously.

Tian Zhenxing shook his head, “None of the names that you’ve mentioned are part of the names listed here in this survivor base.”

“What does that mean?” Xiao Luo trembled.

Tian Zhenxing smiled sympathetically. “They might be elsewhere, or they might already be dead,” he said, then let out a helpless sigh, “A week ago, the alien race arrived on Earth, and they unleashed their devastating weapons on us. More than half of the twenty million people in Xiahai were killed or injured in one day. Facing that spinning top of death, there was nothing we could do to fight back at all. Compared to them, human beings are weak and frail.”
